this is very true and wouldn’t it be horrible if it was like that but as far as i have heard no architectural merit is attached to this building only that it once housed yeats dogs or something similiar… 🙂 this thinking of keep it for the sake of it is crazy.
i think the design has a lot of merit. i am at the moment doing an apartment complex in sligo and to be honest it fits in quite well with what alan has done…not copied alan..sorry i have to say that, but it’s what sligo corpo are looking for and as for the news today. disaster. bloody an taisce. i agree with keeping historical buildings..maybe gpo and four courts but someone’s bloody house that was related to some poet years ago in a regional town which is crying out for investment as a “gateway” and in immediate need of good architecture…i don’t think so.an taisce should be abolished, there members rounded up and hung( because to waste bullets on them is not worth it, at least u can re-use the rope) and as for the councillors..well they should have had the balls to stand up to a minority no matter the press and say this is what sligo needs to improve quality of life . we should be looking forward not back…this is what has our country f**ked the way it is. we just can’t let go of the past.
definately, however i don’t see that happening. and after a year in planning it probably go to an bord cos an taisce don’t want to see lansdowne knocked cos it’s a listed building or some ohter rubbish. the needs of the majority must overcome the objections of a very small minority.
the gov have been throwing this around for years and expense that is hard to justify, just because they don’t agree where it should be. i say enough sh*te and build it as with this and various other rpomises that don’t seem to be happening either they got back into government as it certainly wasn’t their record of financial competency.stira,
i agree totally with u on every point, well almost every one… it looks strange without it finished and they were stupid enough to list the hill aswell so even if they wanted to they can’t finish it. it would be much better to have it finished but i don’t belong to gaa and never will so i can’t explain that. it still is a 70,000 seater stadium even without it anyway and yes it wasn’t the only place innocent irish were killed. but the 2 u mentiioned r not great examples of where innocent irish were killed. but besides that it is a private company and it did accept tax-payers money so they are well within their rights to refuse but we as taxpayers are within our rights to demand it be opened. the government should have written into the contract that it be opened up or at least leased which is what some genius in the gaa came up with to let everybody off the hook.well said however the reason i think it was never mentioned is that the rest of the stadium is large enough that a few thousand seats might not make too much difference and fifa hasn’t renewed the temp seating in lansdowne but it doesn’t mean they won’t give it for croker..either way it isn’t that big an issue in relation to opening it up. and by no means is it a certainty that they will open it up.
do they? i never knew that. i thought it was gov land. were the gov going to buy it off irfu then? and yea. that seems to be a dead duck now alright.
point taken.
and regards the locals around croker…too much emphasis is placed on this. they benefit greatly from big games for a few days a year when they are inconvienced with lots of people around there houses. and there is very rarely trouble. but current thinking leans towards this troublesome inclusion of a minority in infrastructural projects that will benefit the larger population.oh! i think we need a dictator…it’ll certainly stop all this nonsense..
and are replacing it with!!!!! drum role!!!!!!
and new hill..just bigger. nothing like an irish solution to an irish problem. i think it’s absolutely crazy not to finish it off. it’s one of the finest stadia in the world and then they just stop! where is the sense in that.oh! and i agree fully. we need another stadium. opening up croker is the best solution at present. i actually wonder if the gaa are going to pay back the taxpayer for all the money it got from us? and damn shame on the gov. what is it ??6 years promising us a stadium and nothing…i say , back to the 80,000 and bugger the money…just build it. they wasted enough on other projects…just get one right boys…
“An Taisce seeks to inform and lead public opinion and official policy on the environment, through partnership where possible”
that’s a lovely statement…… or put another way
An Taisce seeks to lead public opinion where possible…..i don’t know if they have a central office or are they just sitting at home wondering what they’ll object to next. i presume they do but out of their safety i never bothered to find out. they actually must now i think about it as they council’s send them a copy of drawings from applications. which begs another question…are they state run, cos i didn’t think they are, and if not why do they get sent automatically a copy of applications???????
any dealings i have where i have the bad fortune of having to read anything from an taisce, i have found them to be ignorant, small minded, arse bandits who have nothing better to do with there time but object to anything approaching modern architecture just to keep this country in the dark ages. i am probably going to be reported for this but i think they should all be be taken out and hung.( i would have said shot but bullets cost money and can’t justify the cost and besides the rope can be reused to hang more of them). i ahve never come across a rational objection from them yet. one specific one was a development i was doing and this ar***ole objected to an bord pleanala saying my development was like cutting the arms,legs,head and mulitating the torso off a roman statue of a beautiful woman!!!!!!!!!! and he bloody won!!!! it astounds me how this sort of nonsense in the 21st century can be even looked at without them being put in a mental asylum let alone been taken into account. ahhhhh! enouhg of my ranting…it sound sgood this building…ant pic’s…
not quite sure what ur talking about now. but to fill u ion quickly. it was 80,000 .. then reduced to 65,000 and now is looking a non-runner at all. there is lots of threads on the subject. but i am just guessing it’s the same stadium we are talking about as i think the pool is in abbotstown.
